Former Newcastle United favourite Joey Barton joined Bristol Rovers players in shaving their heads for teammate Nick Anderton.
In July last year, the left-back was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. Less than 600 people are revealed to have the condition in the UK each year.
Treatment in October to remove a tumour was thought to have been successful. However, two months later, Anderton suffered a setback when the cancerous cells were found to be more aggressive than initially thought.
